Quicksilver Non-Villain Antagonist

Occupation: Professional criminal (reluctantly).
Identity: Publicly known.
Legal Status: Unknown, no known criminal record.
Other Aliases: None.
Place of Birth: Unrevealed.
Marital Status: Single.
Known Relatives: Wanda (alias Scarlet Witch, sister).
Group Affiliation: Brotherhood of Mutants.
Base of Operations: Mobile.
First Post-Reboot Appearance: UNCANNY X-MEN #4.
History: Not much is known about Pietro's history before his first appearance. He and his twin sister Wanda claim to be Gypsies, although there are hints that they were adopted rather than born into the culture.
It is not currently known how the two came to the attention of the mutant criminal Magneto, but the self-proclaimed Master of Magnetism was quick to induct them into his Brotherhood of Mutants. It is not known if Pietro was using the name "Quicksilver" at that time. Wanda in particular was easily swayed by Magneto's personal charm and force of personality; Pietro has admitted that he only accepted Magneto's offer to protect his impressionable sister. In their first appearance with the group, the Quicksilver and the rest of the Brotherhood faced off against the X-Men; although they were defeated, they managed to escape.
Quicksilver has encountered the X-Men on a number of occasions since. Each time, he managed to escape capture. It soon became clear to the X-Men that Pietro was not in the Brotherhood for the reasons the others were, and they once offered him membership. Pietro declined at that time, as he felt he should stay close to Wanda to try and prevent Magneto's influence from spreading.
During a time when the Brotherhood was separated from Magneto, Wanda took over the leadership of the group. Quicksilver quickly became concerned at his sister's growing callousness and heavy-handed approach to leadership. Wanda's changing personality has led to a breakdown in the twins' relationship with each other. Both Wanda and Magneto rightfully believe that it is only a matter of time before Pietro betrays them.
Age: 19.
Height: 6'.
Weight: 175 lbs.
Eyes: Blue.
Hair: Silver.
Uniform: Blue and silver bodysuit with a lightning bolt pattern separating the blue from the silver running from his left shoulder to his right boot, the blue is on the top-right, the silver on the lower-left; upper armbands and gloves of the opposing color; blue boots.
Strength Level: Quicksilver possesses the normal human strength of a man his age, height, and build who engages in intensive regular exercise.
Known Superhuman Powers: Quicksilver is a mutant who is able to run at supersonic speeds. His entire body is oriented towards the rigors of high-speed running; the metabolic processes in his body are such that he metabolizes over 90% of the energy in his food (it is estimated that the average person only metabolizes 25% of his food), and his muscles do not generate fatigue poisons. Furthermore, his skin and muscles are denser than normal in order to withstand the friction of moving at such high speeds. His eyes even have a thin membrane over them which protects them from friction and dust while running. In addition, his lungs are such that he can breathe normally at the pressures induced at high speed. He regenerates from most wounds at an enhanced rate.
Quicksilver's potential top speed is uncertain. He once produced a sonic boom when running, but normally runs at around 200 miles per hour, which he can maintain for several hours before needing to rest. With a running start, he is able to run vertically up the sides of buildings or across wide expanses of water without sinking, though he admits that he doesn't want to try running across an ocean. He is able to instantly accelerate from a dead stop to his combat speed.
In addition to his speed, his brain processes sensory input at superhuman rates, enabling him to see bullets in flight and granting him superhuman reflexes.

Role-Playing Notes:
Quicksilver comes off as brash, arrogant, and impulsive. From his point of view, everyone else is moving way too slow. He is only reluctantly a member of the Brotherhood, joining mainly to keep an eye on his sister. He started off protective of his sister, but her recent actions have led to them being estranged. It depends on whether the Brotherhood will face the X-Men or Avengers next to see which group he'll defect to.
